going BKK on this friday . anythings to ready ? just change 15k tb enough for 4 night ?

how u guys reckon the bus/mrt/bts station name on google map?
since they only display in thai language

can always download a photo. that's what i did

Huh? Dont understand

download the map of BTS/MRT/BRT stations and save in the phone.. it's usually combined into one photo

i think so as ayam bring less than u coz hotel already paid also go on sat

hmm data is not a concern, why need to download offline map?

Just for convenience. It's not exactly a map just showing all the stations.

thx

as long as u bring CC to backup just in case
i plan to bring 15k bht along with 50 SGD leftover from past trip, for 4 nights trip city tour

thx

another question, if using Uber/Grab in Thai, the one we downloaded in Malaysia can be used there right?

what about the payment then? still can use CC to pay for Uber/Grab rides?

as far as i remember, got english lah
where did u go their MRT map no english?
even their announcement also got english

yeah just use the same app..

i used both uber and grab over there, just charge to my CC no problem

P/S: got to ride Fortuner, Honda Accord, new Civic

btw, Don Mueang International Airport no ARL coverage right?

i mean the google map app
no english words esp bus stops

nope... take bus to Mo Chit from DMK is the cheapest alternatives.

Else, take taxi.
